UCB is unifying its global safety operations with Veeva Safety Suite to maximize operational efficiency and scale. The company is standardizing safety on a single platform to accelerate case processing, strengthen oversight, and streamline submissions to health authorities. This strategic move aims to establish a single source of truth for safety data.
"Moving our teams onto Veeva Safety Suite is a core step in UCB's safety transformation, helping streamline global and local workflows with a single source of truth for safety data," said Jonas Maselis, head of digital technology, patient safety, UCB. "As we use automation to drive low-touch case processing, our strategic partnership with Veeva positions us well for what's next."
The implementation involves several components of the Veeva Safety Suite. UCB will use Veeva Safety to streamline the intake, processing, and submission of adverse events. Veeva SafetyDocs will manage all safety-related content and processes. Additionally, Veeva Safety Workbench will enable advanced data analysis for fast, scalable reporting, while Veeva Safety Signal will automate signal detection for better visibility and alignment across the organization.
To ensure data consistency, the Veeva Safety-RIM Connection will share product information automatically across regulatory and safety operations. This integration is designed to provide clean and trusted data throughout the company's systems.
"UCB is building a foundation powered by Veeva Safety Suite to simplify and standardize their global pharmacovigilance function," said John Lawrie, vice president, Veeva Safety. "With a unified and connected approach, UCB is enhancing global compliance and driving advanced automation to deliver safe and effective medicines to patients."
